Mountain Top – ELLEGARDEN

It’s been a while since I last lost my head
Days in the sun I found in sobriety
Toggled it up and down in my brain
Nothing like the monsters I grew up with
I grew up with

I’m signing it up and just slipping out
from the pirate ship that I thought was mine
So I buried a hatchet and one eye patch
Now it all just seems like they lost me forever

Give me a sign of falling water
So I can be facing the wind one last time
Give me the light of a lightning flicker
Then I will be dancing with demons once more
I’m the one who wants to burn out
I’m the one who needs to find out
I’m the one who craves the last match

Bitter sister asked me
“Mister, why do you think it’s so unbearable?”
Barely answered in a whisper
“I don’t know, it only gets emptier”
“Gets emptier”

I’m giving it up and just slipping out
from the pirate ship that I thought was mine
All the upshots of my peculiar mind
Now it all just seems like they lost me forever

Give me a sign of falling water
So I can be facing the wind one last time
Give me the light of a lightning flicker
Then I will be dancing with demons once more
I’m the one who wants to burn out
I’m the one who needs to find out
I’m the one who craves the last match

Get back, get back down now
I’m still all in one piece
Get back, get back down now
Things get tough from here on
Every joy I had beside you
Every path I walked beside you
Every dream I dreamed beside you
It all just seems like they lost me forever

Give me a sign of falling water
So I can be facing the wind one last time
Give me the light of a lightning flicker
Then I will be dancing with demons once more
I’m the one who wants to burn out
I’m the one who needs to find out
I’m the one who craves the last match
